The Postgraduate Bursary scheme of the British Comparative Literature Association is designed to support attendance at conferences or research trips by BCLA members registered for a postgraduate degree (MA, MRes, MPhil, or PhD). Each award is for up to a maximum of £250 per student. The judges of the 2017 Summer scheme were Dr Emily Finer (St Andrews) and Professor Naomi Segal (Birbeck). Jessica shares the award (GBP 200) with another student from Northumbria University (GBP 200).
